She said that coats rabbit.
So, you know it's not Mink.
No, this time I've had It.
You're going in the drink.
He was tied to an anchor.
With her kiss and a wink.
She pushed him into the river.
Said succinctly, Mink or Sink...

Love God with heart's best; from Him don't depart
Bestowed on you is protective command
Triumphantly around promised land's rampart
Fulfill with faith, pleased by the Lord's demand.
Love your neighbor as yourself thru God's grace
Heavenly role midst golden rule indeed
Purged from sin's death wages and guilt's disgrace
Fulfill Saviour's statutes in word and deed.
Awed by the Almighty's glorious presence
I stand before Him humbled, yet grateful
Sealed with perpetual spiritual incense
For grand stewardship, joyously faithful.
"Love God and others"* is blessed commission
I strive to do so by His compassion.
*Luke 10:27 ...He (Jesus) answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

6th place, "Movie Magic" Poetry Contest
Chosen film: "The Ten Commandments"
Sponsored by Gregory R. Barden; judged on 3/21/2019.
Strange things happened that last time my Grandpa drove to town
He scrapped a nine eleven and mowed a phone booth down
Folkies in the future will very likely sing
The man trashed a McDonald’s but spared a Burger King
It barely made the papers, just local news in some
Someone should have told them that there was worse to come
Spielberg’s gonna make a movie, if the rumour’s sound
Of the total devastation when Grandma drove to town

IN LOVE THEORY OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
THINGS DONE AND GET IN RETURN IS TIMES TEST
LIVE WISELY AND BE PEACEFUL AND WITHOUT SORRPOW
AND THAT NO ONE TELLS THAT YOR ARE WRONG TOMORROW
SO LOVE IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON WITH PROPER CONSCIENCE
WE HAVE TO LIVE IT FULLY WITH PROPER SCIENCE
HATRED IS A THING THAT I DISLIKE
PROPER MANAGEMENT I LIKE
Sketch tale
Let thoughts unveil
Fond words prevail
In profound sale
Watch feel
Move fine goodwill
That simply thrills
In words that heal
Sense sight
Mirror the light
That shines most bright
In the dark night
Live zest
In journey quest
Through poignant fest
With wit and jest
Seek voice
In fragrant poise
Where lavish choice
Conquers mere noise
Dare act
With conscious tact
To glimpse soul pact
In earthly fact
Joy knows
Just how peace grows
A vibrant flow
In all you show
Craft art
As love now starts
From your sure heart
As arrows dart
Live well
For action tells
What thoughts now dwell
To cast your spell

Dark is the night
In anxious light
Wine spreads good feel
Warm touch now thrills
Blood in warm surge
Mellows new verge
Succinct joy makes
A certain take
When all looks dark
A meteor sparks

Hamlet Place, ACT
Word wise way
Pique prompt play
Jazz joy juice
Oomph odd ooze
Seek sweet style
Wear warm wiles
Street smart sway
Dance dream day
Glimpse grand gaze
Meek mind maze
Taste tough times
Cheer crafts chimes
Best be bold
Feel fear fold
Vet verse vibes
Treat taut tribe
Hues hurl hints
Move mind mint

Spark spice
Be nice
Wise spree
Be free
Ere grave
Be brave
Let grief
Be brief
Seize ploy
Be joy
Wear cheer
Be here
Let you
Be true

Cream clever cites
Blunder blames bite
Speak succinct sounds
Prime profound pound
Drill deeper dance
Charm crafty chance
Live laughing laze
Meet mindless maze
Drill distant doom
Glance grouchy gloom
Pay plenty praise
Rich rapture raise
Niche nimble near
Fun foils fear
Be blessing bright
Seek soaring sights

Unconventionally brilliant
Champions that are resilient
To being rocked down the chart
Living forever in our hearts
Sounds make you want to break free
From the boundaries of conformity
Let them rock you til you drop
Play the game, never stop
Like Mercury rising up the gauge
Under pressure to perform on stage
A kind of magic then ensues
The crowd erupt so enthused
The show must go on still
That would be Freddie’s will
He wanted somebody to love and trust
Not another one that bites the dust
Mr Fahrenheit will live forever
Their songs so many will treasure
Killer Queen come what May
But not without the great Mercury!

Sort your thoughts out and make sense clear,
Use moments well to write your play;
Choose not to shout but weave fond cheer,
Calm voice can tell much more each day;
Indulge fond heart with feeling facts,
Note how you live within your means;
Charm ever starts to mind fine tact,
Touch feels joy give a happy win.
Be truly wise with fragrant poise,
Expect to see truth that sets free;
Ask for the price to hurl your voice,
Urge kind beauty with courtesy;
Triumph over pain despite your hurts,
Your soul now gains something from dirt.
